Flushing, N.Y., March 8, 2011 – David N. Rose, M.D.,
F.A.C.P., has been appointed chairman, Department of Medicine, New York
Hospital Queens (NYHQ). He is a Fellow of the American College of
Physicians and is board-certified in Internal Medicine by the American
Board of Internal Medicine.

Dr. Rose comes to NYHQ from Baystate Medical Center, in Springfield,
Mass., where he was chief, General Medicine and Geriatrics, and vice
chair, Department of Internal Medicine. In addition, Dr. Rose served as
professor of medicine, Tufts University.

“Dr. Rose was brought on board to strengthen the primary care
infrastructure at New York Hospital Queens. His solid team building
background is the approach we expect will give us the best results,”
said Stephen Rimar, M.D., senior vice president and chief medical
officer, NYHQ. “He will also be instrumental in helping us as we
implement new models of care such as “patient-centered medical homes”
and an accountable care organization (ACO), and the use of an electronic
medical record system.

“All of the newer concepts in health care have a single common
denominator, that is managing a patient’s care seamlessly across a
continuum, in different institutional settings, such as a primary
physician’s office, hospital and or nursing/rehabilitation center,” Dr.
Rose said. “I am very excited to work with the NYHQ medical staff as
these innovative concepts of health care take root here. New York
Hospital Queens already has a strong tradition of offering
patient-focused care to the Queens community, that’s a great foundation
to build upon,” Dr. Rose added.

After achieving his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of
Wisconsin in Madison, Dr. Rose earned his Doctorate in Medicine degree
from New York Medical College. He completed his post-graduate training
in internal medicine at Beth Israel Hospital in Manhattan and did a
residency in Preventive Medicine and Public Health at Mount Sinai
Medical Center.

He has published original research articles in peer-reviewed
publications including the Journal of the American Medical
Association, the Archives of Internal Medicine, the Journal
of the American Geriatrics Society and the American Journal of
Preventive Medicine.
